Abstract

Disclosed is an optical transmission cable having one or more cable elements. Each cable element includes a plurality of optical fibers embedded in the outer surface of a plastic layer applied directly over an antibuckling member. When the plastic layer is silicone rubber, the optical fibers may be peeled away from the bundle by hand as desired.
